Make a relevant BART alert stand out in Slack
Use a Slack reaction to draw attention to a message when a BART service check finds a change you care about.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add reaction to message
Adds a specified emoji reaction to an existing message in a slack channel, identified by its timestamp; does not remove or retrieve reactions.
Why this helps
Important service changes can be easy to miss in a busy Slack channel.
- Call attention to an existing Slack message without adding another long post.
- Check live service information when an HTTP request arrives.
- Keep the alert signal tied to a message your team already uses.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bart and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis what BART service condition to look for and which existing Slack message to react to, including its channel and timestamp.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger, choose where run reports go, and test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this workflow?
An HTTP request to the Notis webhook starts it. Bart does not provide a trigger event in this package.
Can it find a Slack message automatically?
The action requires an existing message identified by channel and timestamp. Supply those details or an instruction that has access to them.
Does it post a new alert?
This workflow adds a reaction to an existing Slack message. It does not create a new message.
